must be a guy-cat thing

"Don't even think about touching my remote!"The Mighty Sam waits patiently for someone to cue up his favourite video. Could be a long wait. I have the awful, sinking feeling it might have been accidentally sold along with the old VCR. [I am going to be in so much trouble when he finds out!]

Sam comes running when he hears the VCR power up, then leaves in a huff if it's not his movie on screen. The Catsitter video definitely intrigues him and always holds his attention for at least 15 minutes at a stretch. He likes to sit thisclose to the screen and often tries to "catch" the critters --especially the white mice. Unfortunately, I still haven't found the tape, and I've looked everywhere. The sleeve was on the shelf but not the cassette. Maybe Santa will bring him a replacement (DVD, of course). ;-)

Yes, a few more thousand words in the can. Slowly but surely it's becoming a story (make that the beginning of a story).

Good party! The tapenade was a hit with the olive lovers and even won over a convert. Very easy recipe, thanks! I'll post a picture when I update.
